Crimson

It has been so wonderful to work again with flamingo recently, this time with the Caribbean flamingo whose feathers are amongst the brightest of the six species.

When I saw scouted the location I noticed a large tree on the edge of the lake that this flock called home, and I immediately saw an amazing opportunity to show off their beauty against the dark, textured beauty of the trunk.

I returned the next day to attempt to capture the image — I crouched beside the lake for most of the day, until everything came together at the last minute. My legs ached that evening, but I was pleased to have secured the photograph. I love the texture of the trunk, it’s equally as beautiful as the flamingo that stands proudly in front.
